Tunnel of spider

We have those here! It is a trap nest spider. They are very fast!

We have Wolf spiders here
Wolf spiders are members of the family Lycosidae. These are athletic spiders that don't spin webs to catch their prey; instead, they run it down.

I've only seen Luna moths in pictures, not in person.

I've only once seen one "in the wild". HUGE and beautiful.

We get butterfly moths around here. And these. This one I saved from a spider web

I can smell it clear up here in Missouri!

We have the Wolf Spiders also. Fierce looking things but I try to chase them outside when I find one indoors. They make that funnel type web here in some of the weirdest places. Like between the deck and the house with the funnel going in the little gap. They take out a lot of insect pests and with all the heat and rain we have had this summer.

LOOKEE! I got a gift premium membership from a special lady here at the Home. Thank you @CSolis. I am humbled by your kindness.

This is the one that was visiting last year. It wasn't as large as some others have been. Maybe a male? Are they one of those species where the female is larger than the male?

Seems most of them moths here are white at least any I see

Females will have a larger abdomen compared to males because it contains 200–400 eggs And a FYI: Those long tails are used to deter bats.
